“As part of our continuous review of the products and services available to customers, Emirates can confirm that it will discontinue the Hindu meal option.
“We constantly review our offering, taking into consideration customer uptake and feedback. This helps us improve service efficiencies,” an airline spokesperson said in a statement.
The spokesperson said its Hindu customers can order in advance from a wide variety of regionally-inspired vegetarian and special meals catering to specific dietary requirements in all classes of travel.
“Emirates also offers options of religious meals like Vegetarian Jain Meal, Indian Vegetarian Meal, Kosher meals and Non-Beef non-vegetarian options as well,” the spokesperson added.
